Services for February

Sunday 10:30 - 11:30 am

Freedom Train

Rev. Jaye Brooks
February 2

As we begin Black History Month, with the learning and worship theme of inclusion, we find inspiration and meaning in Freedom Train, a 1947 poem by renowned American poet, Langston Hughes.

The Lovers, the Dreamers and Me

Worship Committee
February 9

We will be sharing a sermon written by Rev. Tess Baumberger entitled The Lovers, the Dreamers, and Me. This looks at this month’s theme of inclusion through an entertaining lens of one of my favorite muppets—Gonzo and his search for his identity and acceptance in the movie Muppets from Space.

Our value of inclusion calls us to accept and support each other in our spiritual journeys regardless of our backgrounds, beliefs, or who we love. In both a humorous and a serious way we will explore some deep issues about how we can live together on this earth and also in our theologically diverse Unitarian Universalist congregations.

A potluck luncheon follows the service.

Draw the Circle Wide

Rev. Jaye and Jenn Blosser
February 16

UU values place Love at the center. That means creating a community of belonging, one that supports each person to becoming their full, authentic self. We intentionally widen the circle to include and empower all who seek the home we make.

Expectations & Accommodations

Jenn Blosser
February 23

How can we create dynamic communities where everyone can thrive? Drawing from her journey of self-acceptance as a late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD woman, Jenn Blosser reflects on how examining social norms and making intentional accommodations can transform community spaces.

Together, we’ll explore how neurodiverse communities enrich us all and stand as powerful acts of resistance against division and oppression. Through the lens of our Unitarian Universalist faith, we’ll consider how revisiting our expectations and embracing accommodations can empower deeper and more meaningful inclusion for everyone.
